Applications of Number Theory in RSA Encryption Systems
Shreyan Das · International Journal of Mathematics And its Applications · 2020
Number theory is the branch of mathematics that studies the set of integers. Cryptography is the field of study that has as goal the development of algorithms to send secret messages over public channels like the internet. In this article, we describe applications of number theory to cryptography, specifically within the RSA Encryptions system. This usage allows for this type of Encryption to be significantly advantageous.
